They bet not neva, especially anyone on my husbands side. They know better, and the one's that don't will learn quickly. Have you noticed it's the family members with the kids that "ain't right" and down right out of control that are the first to tell you to hit yo kid...like it's for their satisfaction or something?? Her dad has never spanked her, his voice make her quake. Now, my mother is balanced with her discipline and when she has spanked her it has always been justified and fair. Anyone else will lose that limb.

No. Grandparents only, and that's only a light pop on her hand or butt to get her attention; only after talking first. And no yelling either. My daughter is with me 99% of the time, so I will do the disciplining. Spanking is a VERY last resort and that is a VERY rare occurrence.

No, Some family members favor other children and can be harder on yours because they have issue with you.

I never thought about this before but you raise and interesting point. You also have those people who think they know how to raise your child better than you and may try to spank your kid anyway cause they are controlling like that.

But yeah, If I had any kids I would allow my immediate family the liberty to spank them lightly if needed because they aren't excessive. I know my older sis and bro aren't heavy handed, they had authority to spank me when I was a kid but didn't. My parents are old school but they are too lazy for that now.

Often we may think a person is a good to us or may even be a friend however some people may show a different side of themselves to a defenceless child.

Years ago a friend and I took our babies to the park, I left something in my car so I had to run up a hill to get back to the car. I left my daughter with the friend.

I guess she didn't expect me to return so quickly however as I started back down the hill I noticed she was feeding her son my daughter's last bottle, it was bright pink.

When I made it back she had placed the bottle back into my diaper bag.

I just played her game to see where she would lead me. My daughter got fussy and I opened the diaper bag but the friend told me she had already fed my daughter the bottle. My daughter never finishes an entire bottle and she wasn't hungry because I had fed her before we left home.
